Students majoring in Engineering Che­mistry must meet the D.E.C. requirements of the College of Arts and Sci­ences, with the following exceptions:

A. An elementary foreign language course numbered 101 or 112, if taken to fulfill the entry skill in foreign language requirement, may also be used for one of the two courses needed to fulfill the D.E.C. category G requirement.

B. Only one course need be taken from D.E.C. category F.

Major in Engineering Chemistry (ECM)

The interdisciplinary major in Engine­ering Chemistry leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. The following courses are required and must be taken for a letter grade; P/NC grades are not acceptable. All of the courses used to fulfill the requirements of the major (CHE, MAT, ESG, PHY, etc.) must be passed with a grade of C or higher, with the exception of three courses, for which the grade may be C-. No transferred course with a grade lower than C may be used to fulfill any major requirement. At least six credits each of upper-division work in chemistry and in materials science and engineering must be taken at Stony Brook.

Completion of the major requires approx­­imately 66 to 68 credits.

A. Mathematics and Basic Science Requirements

MAT 131, MAT 132 Calculus I, II (See note below) If students do not place into MAT 125 or 131 on the basis of the math placement examination, MAT 123 is a required course for the major.

One of the following pairs of courses: AMS 261 and AMS 361 Engineering Mathematics I, II; or MAT 203 and MAT 303 Calculus III, IV with Applications

Each student majoring in Engineering Chemistry must take CHE 303 until a satisfactory grade is achieved. CHE 303 requires several papers which are evaluated for cogency, clarity, and mechanics, and satisfies the university Stony Brook Curriculum WRTD learning objective.

Electives

Students make a selection of technical and open electives to total 120 credits. Students are advised to divide their electives among courses within the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Department of Chem­istry that strengthen their professional interests, and courses in the social sciences and humanities that help them place the problems of society and industry in perspective.

Bachelor of Science Degree/Master of Science Degree in Chemistry Program

A student interested in this research-intensive graduate program, intended to prepare students for professional em­ployment in the chemical or pharmaceutical industries, may apply for admission at the end of the junior year. The program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Chemistry at the end of the fourth year and a Master of Science in Chemistry at the end of the fifth year. During the senior year, the student is expected to take two 500-level CHE courses and begin research in the senior research sequence CHE 495-CHE 496. In the fifth year, the student works full-time on research, earning 24 credits in CHE 599.

Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry/Master of Science Degree in Materials Science

Engineering Chemistry students who are interested in pursuing graduate study in materials science may wish to apply for the five-year program at the end of their junior year. For further details, contact the director of the program in engineering chemistry.
